Grant Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit selling limited edition postcards for charity

You can purchase the postcards here, or donate directly via Just Giving.
Hutchison said of the project:
“Line Drawings was an idea I had a couple of years ago. As someone who doesn't write lyrics I've always been really interested in the process and how lyricists get to the final product of a song. I thought that asking songwriters to visualise their favourite lyrics might give an interesting insight in to how they formulate and develop their own words. I contacted a few of my favourite writers and the response was great. I chose to make a postcard set of these drawings to raise money for Cystinosis Foundation UK. The charity is very close to my heart as my niece Morven suffers from cystinosis. It is a very rare genetic condition which forces her to take a large amount of different medications daily. As it is so rare the funding is limited - almost all funds are raised through personal projects like this or event fundraisers. Check the website for more information or if you'd rather just make a donation the justgiving page is below. All the profits from Line Drawings cards go towards CFUK”
